The creation of the Edition 12 is our thank you for years of loyalty and love for our products. Latest reviews. Pros : Euphonic and warm sound, slightly fun signature, soundstage, comfort, really light on the head. Cons : lack of precision and overall technical abilities, not neutral and accurate enough for a Flagship, potentially bothersome treble, poor package. In this case, it was not even the famous pizza box filled with foam that makes the charm or not of Grado headphones but an anonymous shoebox.
Do not even look for 6. Outside the headphones, usuer-manual and a cleaning cloth, there is nothing. Honestly, I laughed out loud when I discovered the package.
The headphone itself is beautiful. If the Edition 10 expensive woody finish and perforated goat leather pads have disappeared in favor of a metallic finish and microfiber pads, the overall design remains unchanged. It is light, refined and really impressive. Unquestionably, the Edition 12 is one of the most beautiful headphones on the market. The headband is covered in the same thin leather than Edition and Signature series. The cable is thick and good surface quality.
It ends with a 6. No reviews yet Be the first. Use your experience to help others in the community make a decision. Write a review. Design 1. Devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better experience. Comfortable full-size form with earcups that fully enclose your ears. This model is loved for its increased sound isolation and the fact that it won't leak sound to your neighbors.
It offers potential for maximum bass and loudness levels. With a detachable cable you can use alternative cables, and if the cable is pulled it will pop out instead of breaking. Resistance to sweat makes it ideal for use while doing sports. The device is protected with extra seals to prevent failures caused by dust, raindrops, and water splashes.
We consider a lower weight better because lighter devices are more comfortable to carry. A lower weight is also an advantage for home appliances, as it makes transportation easier, and for many other types of products.
Foldable devices are easier to transport and take up less storage space. The device comes with its own special case or pouch, which is useful for safe transportation. Sound quality 1. The lowest frequency at which the device produces audio. The lower the low-frequency response, the stronger and juicier the bass. The device sits tightly in place, creating an acoustic seal which reduces background noise and prevents your music from leaking out.
The highest frequency at which device produces audio. The higher the high-frequency response, the clearer and crispier the treble. Upon first listen, the Ultrasone surprised me Unfortunately I never had the opportunity to meet the ed Ultrasone headphones share a more or less typical sound signature. The whole family doesn't exhibit thoses charecteristics at the same level but you see the picture. So what surprises me with the Edition 12 is to see this House sound but without the excesses that may characterize some other models.
Additionaly the ed12 adds some "extra" that I had personally never heard with an Ultrasone: a kind of smoothness and some euphonic warmth. The first listening to this Edition 12 immediately put a smile on my face as the sound from the headphones was very involving. This feeling never disappeared throughout my listening.
The Ultrasone familiar features are found here in a slightly V-shaped signature with a slight boost in the mid-bass, a slightly recessed midrange and a touch of sizzle in the treble. However, I have never felt any imabalance or excess with the Edition The whole sound remains cohesive and fluidly organized.
Mids are definitely not sacrificed. The whole range of frequencies appears to have a slight warmth, a little extra body and soul without losing speed and impact. The main interest of the Edition 12 in my opinion is to provide a subtle blend of opposed lineaments to achieve a a quite enjoyable and balanced sound for the listener. Usually, "euphonic" headphones may suffer of slowness and also an excess of color affecting the accuracy.
It's not too much the case here : The Ultrasone does not lack speed and impact and I've just spent time with Bach partita for solo violin and compared with the rendition offered by my HD to realize that accuracy is not so altered. At the opposite, "fun" headphones can sometimes cause fatigue due to aggressive treble or overwhelming bass. The Edition 12 avoids both pitfalls too. Certainly the small mid-bass boost is noticable but it does not overwhelm the under or upper registers.
The Edition 12 also succeeds miracle! At worst, some sibilance appear from time to time when the recording is right. A Ultrasone still remains a Ultrasone!
It's definitely not my case but I have to honestly warn about this possibility. The other highlight of the headphone is its soundstage. Ultrasone offers on all their headphones system owner says "S-Logic". This is actually a misalignment of the transducer away from the entry point of the ear and partial closure variable depending on the model of this tranducteur. The goal of the operation is to restore as much as possible a "surround" effect. I'm not going up there to confirm or deny the validity of the approach; I am definitely not able to do that.
Still, the presentation by the Edition 12 is really excellent. It is not as wide as a HD but little more than a Beyerdynamic T1 and the sound is generally more upfront and closer to the listener than the HD So, thanks to the enveloping soundstage and the forwardness, this Ed12 has a real ability to immerse the listener who suddenly has the feeling of sitting in the middle of the musicians.
I know that this statement is often overused but I assure you that for once this is very sensitive. My first hours with the Edition 12 have been spent on a trip in my music Library that contains almost everything. The Edition 12 seemed to like all genres I tested and I couldn't detect from the first listen a genre where it is bad.
Detailed sound impressions Bass: The low register of the Edition 12 is centered around mid bass. It's not too heavy, without excess and it does not overwhelm the rest of the register. The fact remains that mid bass dominate. Devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better experience.
